My Favorite Fearless 'Nora-isms'

Posted: 07/05/2012 8:23 am

Nora Ephron, film director, screenwriter and essayist. Incapable of settling for mediocrity, she was a writer who dared to do more. Nora's writing and romantic comedies engaged audiences across the country with her wit and raw transparency.

Undaunted by change, she embraced the power of modern technology and social media to share her soul with the world.

With more than a few laughs and tears, Nora left a legacy for writers who refuse to settle for mediocrity: Be yourself. Tell the truth boldly. Never pull your punches.

Here are a few of my favorite fearless Nora-isms.

I love the controversy one. People amaze me at what they will accept verses what they find offensive.

These are great! I love her honesty and how she's not being afraid to just put it out there! I think my fav is the one about being a heroine and a victim! So important to remember!

Thanks, Michael, for sharing these!
